    This Coconut Keto Cookies recipe yields cookies that are crispy outside and chewy inside with rich coconut vanilla flavor and sweet bursts of chocolate.

    Keto Coconut Cookies on Blue Plate with Gold Rim

    I spent summer 2019 in Europe. It’s a completely different way of life over there, and a lot of their habits just make good sense!

    One of the things I absolutely loved was enjoying an espresso mid-afternoon. No matter what was going on, where I was, or who I was with, 3pm was time for a short break.

    After a while, you realize that a mid-afternoon coffee break is one of those small things that brightens your day. It’s something to look forward to.

    The thing is, espresso is fine on its own. No, it’s absolutely delicious. But it’s even better with a little something to munch on. And it’s better yet if what you’re munching on is something just a teensy bit sweet and involves chocolate. Day made, friends.

    These Coconut Keto Cookies are a delicious afternoon snack. They’re low in carbs, but completely satisfying so one or two is really all you need.

    Think Almond Joy candy bar in cookie form for this Coconut Keto Cookies Recipe. These cookies have a rich coconut texture and chewy flavor with a hint of vanilla and little bursts of chocolate. They’re lovely paired with espresso or on their own.

    I like to keep a batch of these stashed in my fridge for those days when an afternoon treat is in order along with my espresso.

    Is Coconut Keto Friendly?

    Yes! Coconut is low in carbohydrates and a decent source of fiber, which it lowers the net carbs even more. Additionally, coconut is high in healthy fats, making it good for a ketogenic diet.

    You can read more about the health benefits of coconut on Healthline, Nourish by WebMD, and Everyday Health.

    Coconut Nutrition Information

    According to the USDA FoodData Central database, one 15 gram serving of unsweetened shredded coconut has the following nutrition information:

    • 100kcal
    • 1g protein
    • 10g fat
    • 4g total carbohydrates
    • 2g fiber
    • 1g sugar
    • 2g net carbs

    Is Almond Flour or Coconut Flour Better for Keto Baking?

    Both almond flour and coconut flour work well for keto baking, but the key is to know how each ingredient works so you can get the best result.

    Coconut Flour in Keto Baking

    Coconut flour is ground dried coconut meat. It's naturally gluten free, low carb, and high in fiber, which makes it a good option for keto baking. The thing to note about coconut flour is that it's very dry, so it absorbs a lot of liquid.

    When coconut flour is the only flour in a recipe, it can yield dense, dry baked goods. This is why recipes that call for a significant amount of coconut flour tend to call for a lot of eggs to help moisten, lighten, and bind the recipe.

    Almond Flour in Keto Baking

    Almond flour is made from ground almonds that have had their skins removed. Just like coconut flour, almond flour is also gluten free and low carb. However, almond flour is higher in fat and lower in fiber than coconut flour.

    When almond flour is used as the only flour in a recipe, the resulting baked goods tend to be on the crumbly side without a chewy texture.

    Using a Combination of Coconut Flour and Almond Flour in Keto Baking

    A combination of almond flour and coconut flour helps yield keto baked goods with the best flavor and texture.

    However, it's important to note that sometimes you may need another keto-friendly flour-type ingredient as well. Coconut flour and almond flour don't contain gluten. This is why baked goods made with these two flours may need another ingredient (such as beef gelatin and/or psyllium husk powder) added for structure, and to achieve the right chewy bread-y or cake-y texture.

    This Coconut Keto Cookies Recipe uses a combination of almond flour, coconut flour, and unsweetened coconut flakes as the dry ingredients. The end result is cookies that are slightly crispy outside and perfectly chewy inside.
